I've just bought a cell phone and have started a new plan. I have unlimited local minutes and want to know what favorite numbers is and if I have it. Does it allow me to make free long distance calls to these people if I only have unlimited local? Thank you!

A simple search brought up a few "how to" pages for favorite numbers, one page for adding favorite numbers to a new account, but the instructions aren't relevant for any account I have (or have access to), so I'm assuming they're not relevant any longer for new accounts.
